Orlando, Fla. – January 22, 2009 – JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, continues to write a series of popular branding and marketing blogs at his website http://www.JWDicksBlog.com. The blogs are timely and efficient tips for entrepreneurs and business owners interested in growing their business or professional practice.
JW Dicks is one of America’s leading experts on using personal branding to build an individual or expert’s media credentials and then growing a business around the personal brand. JW emphasizes branding, and the importance of online marketing and social media to his readers and gives them strategies to expand their business in the current economy.
Starting in December 2009, JW began a blog series based on a recent DMNews article discussing marketing strategies that have been the most effective over the last 30 years, and continue to be. Some of the topics that JW will cover over the next several weeks will include (in no particular order) customer endorsements , continuity programs, loyalty programs, sweepstakes, rebates , coupons, in-billing advertisements , business reply cards, and location-based targeting, among others.
The first blog included JW’s thoughts on loyalty programs. He discusses how loyalty programs are well known, adaptable and clearly successful. JW uses examples such as Best Western®, Delta, Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club® and American Express® to illustrate the different varieties and effective uses of loyalty programs. Along with these examples, JW Dicks asks his readers, “How can you use a loyalty program in your business? What steps need to take place to implement one quickly?”
Over the next several weeks, JW will give his take on some of these marketing strategies with an emphasis on personal branding, branding companies, business strategies and business development.

“I chose Dicks Nanton Agency because they get it. A lot of people provide marketing and PR but I was impressed with their ability to understand what drives a customer to do business with you. That’s pretty rare. I really felt that I needed a fresh vision in my business to help us pull off the extraordinary for our clients. I’m looking to Dicks Nanton Agency to provide fresh insight into Florida Leisure Vacation Homes and to help me take it to the next level,”

“Hi this is Kimberlee Frank “The Real Estate Junkie” and I am writing to let you know how joining America’s PremierExperts® made a difference in my life. First off, I have shared the stage with a lot of people. However, it was always me having to impress my audience. Now, thanks to America’s PremierExperts®, I have a long list of credentials that allows me to get on any stage. The media coverage was out of this world. The friendship with Jack, Nick, and Lindsay is something that can not be replaced, we will always be connected. I have written many courses and wanted to write a book but never seemed to find time. With the help of America’s PremierExperts®, they made it happen and not in years but everything was done in just 12 months. I just wanted to say “Thanks”. I couldn’t have gotten this type of media coverage, book, and
Jack & Nick have brought about more expansion in our business in the past three months than we thought possible. They got us to see the big picture while explaining everything along the way. Jack and Nick took the time to understand our business goals and tailored their approach to us. We wouldn’t trust our company with anyone else!

When we first met Nick and Jack, we were floundering a little with our training business…we had all of the pieces, but didn’t have a cohesive vision or strategy of where it could take us. Since working with them, we have put more systems into our office, we are looking at the marketing (and the results of that marketing!) in a whole new light, our website actually looks like a professional did it, AND we have an awesome vision for our company that will allow us to retire in just a few short years. Sometimes we get so busy in the day to day “stuff” of our businesses that we forget to stop and look AT our businesses, The Dicks + Nanton Agency has afforded us an impartial outsiders’ view of our own business and the potential that it has.

Nick, We were interviewed live today by Fox 40
“I mentioned to you while we were in Hollywood that the day before I came, I got a call from a producer who found me through a press release and my participation in America’s PremierExperts®. I had a phone interview and received an email inviting me out for an all expenses paid shoot for a TV show, where they want me to talk all about my business and what I do. I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy working with you all and think what you are doing is terrific. The fact is, what you guys are doing works. There is absolutely no way they would have found me, nor would I have this interview without you guys. The great thing is I can use whatever they produce in my arsenal now and hopefully get more interviews. So, again, thank you for everything—it works!!!”
